Well at some point, some CFC has to interact with the session scope. It's inevitable. Previously, I would have advocated creating a centralized Session Facade to act as gatekeeper to anything in the shared scope. Sean has since talked me out of that approach because it opens up all session data to anything that uses the facade, which usually ends up with components digging into session data that doesn't belong to them instead of going through the "proper channels" and talking to other service objects.
In any event, you're right. The UserService would be talking to the session scope directly to get and set the User object. This is a trade-off for simplicity, since you could also create a UserSessionFacade or something that would wrap up talking to the session scope for just that service, but that seems like extra work for not much real benefit.
